I brought my parents to tears in 1970s for signing newspaper advert supporting Homosexual Law Reform (decriminalizing MM sex). Law changed in 1985 🏳️‍🌈

I've protested in support of #TransRights in Aotearoa NZ for over 20 years. Not stopping now. Pic from protest at NZ Parliament in 2005 ⤵️

NZ readers may find the POISONED SOUP horror fiction anthology pairs well with recently released POTLUCK: Poems about Food, also with a beautiful cover. Great Christmas gifts!

At #KohaCon25 again. Now listening to Dale Cousens on project listening to Maori input on which words to use in descriptions to aid English listeners or readers building a vocabulary catalogue. Lots of listening to different inputs.

#KohaCon25 How to build skills and community.

IMHO: Approach works with other teams too, especially where they have the option to work with open source software or open approaches. Compliance driven tickboxes just aren't as creative.

Slide details in AltText. Alex and Craig stand below slide.

Next at #KohaCon25 Alex Buckley from Catalyst + Craig Murdoch from AUT

Alex is younger. Craig has rainbow hair 🌈

Craig talked on Tapu te rangi marae in Island Bay built by Bruce Hirini Stewart on his release from prison as a refuge for others. People build communities by working together.

Skills picked up in Information Management course are broadly transferable to many information resource roles and tasks not just in libraries.

More from #KohaCon25 Slides of skills and knowledge information management professionals learn. Important for creating and improving catalogue records. Fun for some of us geeky types.

Confession time, I spent too long looking at book entry and missed some slides.

Data is land in the world of Artificial Intelligence.

Where is the recognition and protection of digital real estate such as Te REO and people's information?

People unfamiliar with Wellington's waterfront may not realise that most of it is unfenced with low concrete balustrades - great for views and for extra seating but not for protecting late night wanderers from falling over the side.

I'm third generation Wellingtonian. I agree that it's a struggle but we do have some lovely days and even lovelier people.

At National Library in Wellington to hear Rainbow Elders talk. Audience includes trans and nonbinary folk as well as hard core anti trans separatist lesbians. Not a comfortable feeling knowing people who want to erase us are sitting nearby.

As suggested by Lucy, it could be Michael Organ ... hard to tell really.

No distinctive features. Middle aged white guy with dark hair.
